PLAYLIST FOR “DOs & DON’Ts” 9.13.25

15 Sep

Dos and Don’ts – we’ve heard them all our lives! Don’t talk unless your raise your hand. Don’t bring candy to school unless you bring enough for everyone. Don’t lock your little sister in the closet…maybe that’s just me. And later we all heard: Do call your mother!

PLAYLIST FOR “PROMISES, PROMISES” 6.21.25

22 Jun

When I started this show, 15 years ago, I promised no bad jokes. That promise went out the window on the first show. Then I promised I’d never play Rod Stewart or Lawrence Welk.  0 for 2 on those.  Finally, in desperation, I promised never to try to sell  skin care products to my audience. I’ve kept that promise…but of course, I do have one more show to go this season; and I do have 15 boxes of the stuff in my garage.  Hmmmm….  This week? I promised two hours all about promises others have made, and a few they didn’t keep.
